William H. Coates and his wife Mrs. Julia B. Coates who lived at 1337 T street, northwest, met sudden death July 4, when the car in which they were riding was struck by an unattached engine at a railroad crossing near Summit, Virginia.
Mr. and Mrs. Coates were in company with their son, Earl, and

Miss Emily Miner, Mrs. Coates' sister who was driving, en route to the Coates' summer home at Summit.
The place where the accident occurred is described as a very dangerous crossing. It seems that only a few yards from where the highway crosses the track there is a curve. This curve obstructs the view of the driver of an automobile beyond its point of turning. The car stopped to wait for a train to pass and then started across the track, when a single engine shot around the nearby bend and hit the automobile in the rear.
Hurled Through Air
Mr. and Mrs. Cates, who were riding on the rear seat were hurled 39 feet through the air. The body of the husband was cut in half against a telegraph pole. Death to both was instantaneous. Miss Miner escaped with a cut head, and was taken to Fredericksburg Hospital. Earl received only slight bruises. Beside her children, Earl, Edith Louis, Wilbert, Isadore and Leonard, Mrs. Cates leaves five brothers, John, George, William, Robert and Lee Miner, and three sisters Viola, Emily and Sigsbee Miner to mourn her death.
SAYS HUSBAND WAS CRUEL
Charging cruelty, Mrs. Emma Luck, 1823 Twelfth street, northwest, is suing her husband, Winston H. Luck, a Pullman porter, for a limited divorce.

LIBERIA PAYS ITS WAR DEBT
On Wednesday, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Consul General and special financial representative of the Republic of Liberia in the United States presented to Ogden L. Mills, acting secretary of the treasury, a draft for $35.610.46 drawn by the National City Bank of New York on the Riggs National Bank of Washington, in full payment of Liberia's indebtedness to the United States under the Liberty Bond Acts.
Dr. Lyon in making the payment made a few remarks appropriate to the occasion and in returning the cancelled obligations of the Republic of Liberia, Mr. Mills handed to Dr. Lyon a letter of felicitation from Secretary Mellon.
COMPLETION OF MASONIC BLDG. IS UNCERTAIN
Completion of the unfinished Masonic structure at Tenth and U streets, northwest, is indefinite and uncertain, Attorneys Houston and Houston say in behalf of the New Masonic Hall Corporation in an answer filed to the intervening petition of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand-Lodge of Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia and Samuel J. Solomon. In the intervening petition the Masonic Grand Lodge and Solomon declare that the commitment of a loan has been secured and the petitioners desire to pay in full the obligation of the purchaser to the trustees, Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, but because of the possibilities of the filing of mechanic liens against the property for work or material furnished prior to April 12, 1926, the petitioners are unable to furnish satisfactory proof of security to the lender of the money. Attorneys Houston and Houston in answering the petition declare that the petitioners are guilty of laches. Every point raised by the petitioners, they say, has existed since the date of the sale and was disposed of prior to the settlement of the sale and the execution and delivery of the two promissory notes of $33,000 each.
The petition was filed July 1 to gain an extension of time in the payment of the note which becomes due July 12, by the delay incident to a hearing, Attorneys Houston and Houston assert. They point out that while the petitioners express a desire to pay the two notes, they do not state that they are ready and able to pay them. A motion to advance the date of the hearing on the petition was filed Tuesday. The petitioners ask that the proceeds from the payment of the two notes be impounded in the registry of the court for a period of three months after the building is completed to insure payment of any mechanic liens which may be filed against the property or work or material furnished prior to the purchase of the unfinished structure by the Masonic grand lodge.

ELK DELEGATES CONFER WITH J.F. WILSON
Casper Holstein and Joseph (Blondy) Brown, of New York City, were here in conference Wednesday with J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, and Perry W. Howard, Grand Legal Adviser, of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World.
They are seeking an amicable settlement of the controversy regarding the meeting place of the Elks in August. Mr. Holstein had in his possession $20,000 in cash to deposit as a guarantee that there would be no interference with the Elks grand lodge if it should be held in New York City. Alexander H. Martin, an attorney, of Cleveland, Ohio, was also in conference with the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Legal Adviser. He came to convince them that there is no injunction against the order in Ohio and that there is no reason for not holding the 28th annual session in Cleveland.
"Y" STUDENTS PROTEST SOUTH'S LAWLESSNESS
BLUE RIDGE, N. C., July 5.—Stirred by the many recent outbreaks of mob violence in this south, the Y. M. C. A. Student Conference for the Southeast which has just concluded its annual meeting here, adopted and gave to the press the following resolutions relative to lynching and mob violence:
"Whereas, the encouraging decline in lynching which has marked recent years suffered a serious relapse in 1926, and—
"Whereas, there have occurred in recent months many instances of this fearful crime, particularly in the states of Mississippi and Arkansas, and—
"Whereas, we, the Southern Regional Council of Student Y. M. C. A.'s assembled at B'ue Ridge, N.C., believe we voice 'the sentiment of the great mass of Southern people in condemning all such atrocious crime, and—
"Whereas, we have heard of these tragic occurrences with keen regret, and believe that they are unjustifiable from any standpoint;"
"Therefore be it resolved:
"That we earnestly hope that the public officials and the Christian citizenship of our country will
William McKinley Murray, 26 years old, of Alexandria, Va., was the only successful colored applicant to pass the recent Virginia bar examination held in Roanoke, Va., June 28 and 29. There were eleven colored persons to take this examination. Three of them were from the Howard University law school. The others were from the law schools of Columbia University, Union University, LaSalle and Frelinghuysen University. Mr. Murray is a graduate of the June class of the John A. Langston law school of Frelinghuysen University of which Attorney L. Melendez King is the dean. His scholastic record was high. He is connected with the Washington Tribune and Murray Brothers, primers.
He will begin practice in Alex-

WOMEN OF MISS. INVITE NEGROES TO JOIN COMM.
JACKSON, Miss., June 25. — Meeting here last week in annual session, the Mississippi Women's Committee on Race Relations pledged themselves to the most progressive program of interracial justice ever adopted by any group in this state. Beginning with a terrific broadside against lynching and mob violence, they promised to seek better school advantages for the colored people of the state, offered their co-operation to the Negro club women in their efforts for a home for delinquent boys, and then gave proof of their sincerity by inviting the Negro women of the state to membership on their committee. Among the specific improvements in school conditions to which they pledged themselves were better facilities for teacher training, better school buildings, and a more equitable distribution of school funds.
Wholehearted Endeavor
Mrs. David M. Key, wife of the president of Millsaps College, was elected president of the state committee, which includes a score of the most prominent women in Mississippi, all of them leaders in one or more of the great religious or civic groups. The meeting was convened by Mrs. Maud P. Henderson, of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation., who reports a much more active interest in the movement than was apparent in earlier meetings.
Stirred by recent outbreaks of mob violence in this state, a group of Mississippi's most prominent women, meeting here last week, drew up and gave to the press a vigorous condemnation of lynching, declaring that "as Southern women we hold that no circumstances can ever justify mob action" and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chiluric consideration for the honor of womanhood."
The Governor was commended for his efforts to suppress mob violence, sheriffs were urged to meet with force any attempts upon their prisoners, and grand juries and courts were called upon for earnest efforts to bring recent lynchers to justice.
use every means of upholding the law and cultivating public sentiment against such atrocities."
Similar resolutions were adopted by the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference meeting at the same place during the preceding week. The students in attendance at these two conferences represent practically all the colleges of the Southeastern region.

The ceremony was performed by the bride's father, Rev. Sterling N. Brown, at the family's residence, 2464 street, northwest. The groom gave his age as 51, while the bride gave hers as 32. Only members of the family at-
Only members of the family attended the ceremonies.
This is the second marriage for Professor Smith, his first wife, nee Miss Bessie Anderson, a former teacher at Howard University, died several years ago.
The newlyweds left at 5 o'clock Thursday morning for Burlington, Vermont, where both will attend the summer school at the University of Vermont.
ATTY. J. WILSON SEEKS TO PROVE JACKSON INSANE
John H. Wilson, attorney for Philip Jackson, whose electrocution was postponed last Thursday until July 29 by Justice A .A. Hoehling; is bending his energies toward proving that the condemned man is of unsound mind.
Attorney Wilson has until July 11 to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant a sanity hearing.
Efforts to locate the parents of Jackson are being made. According to an affidavit presented to the court by Attorney Wilson last Thursday Jackson is the offspring of a union between a brother and a sister and is mentally defective. Supporting affidavits were also presented to the court.
Jackson was to have been electrocuted last Friday. He would have been the first victim of the new electric chair in the District jail. Final tests of the death chair were being made when a reprieve was granted.
Arlington Burial Refused
Burial arrangements for Jackson had been completed. John T. Rhines, undertaker, was to have charge of the remains. The War Department had refused permission for the burial of Jackson in Arlington National Cemetery. It ruled that no war veteran who is executed for a criminal offense shall be buried in that sacred ground. While Attorney Wilson is making his fight to cheat the electric chair of its first intended victim, another fight is being waged over the disposition of $000 due Jackson as back compensation from the Government.
Enters "Brother" Roberts
Jackson, it seems, has made two wills. In one he left all his earthly possessions to the people with whom he had been living. Later he made another will in which he left his money to the aged colored minister, known as "Brother" Roberts, who frequents the District jail. Should he die before settling this matter, litigation over his estate is likely to result.
Attorney Wilson is very much opposed to the influence exerted by "Brother" Roberts over prisoners. While Jackson was in the cell room awaiting trial, Mr. Wilson discovered "Brother" Roberts talking with him. He told the preacher that if he caught him talking with Jackson again during the trial he would report him to Justice Hoehling.

REV. J. WALDRON SCORES D. C. TEACHERS
The conduct of public school teachers was scored by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church, in a sermon last Sunday night. He also severely criticised the board of education.
His subject was, "Are the public schools of Washington meeting the needs of the children of the District of Columbia?" He declared that the local schools are deficient in moral training. "Far more attention," he said, "is given to athletics in the common schools of Washington than to the teaching of morals."
A number of the young male high school teachers take the attitude. Rev. Waldron stated, that the school authorities have nothing to do with their conduct after school hours. He pointed out that they visit cabarets and other questionable places of amusement. "Students see them in these places," he said, "and take it for granted that if the teacher can frequent such places, they can do so also."
Improper Association
"Many of the young male school teachers," he declared, "are in the habit of dancing with the girls whom they teach, and going with them to places that are not recorded as resorts of respectable people. On the return of such teachers to school the next day they fail to secure the respect and confidence of the young women they teach."
Many of the women teachers, who are instructing adolescent boys, are scantily clad, he said, and expose their bare knees in the schoolroom.
The school board and administration officers are awaking to the immorality existing in the system, he declared, and have shown their determination to improve conditions.
Taking the school board to task, Rev. Waldron stated that "the school system is top heavy. It lays too much stress upon nonessentials and too little upon thighs that are needed by every child who is seeking an education."
Extra Curricular Work
High school students, he said, are highly nervous as a result of the extra curricular work required of them. The teachers are also nervous because of extra curricular work, he stated. He added that the teachers are "subjected unduly to prejudice, partiality and favoritism" on the part of subordinate officials.
The rules and regulations of the board of education, he said, are made for the government of "underlings, but they are woefully deficient in the protection of the hard working but manly and womanly teachers from those who are inclined to exploit them for selfish purposes."
In concluding he declared that the time has come for the family and the church as well as the State to help school officials faithfully to follow the injunction to "Train up a child in the way that he should go."
Jackson was convicted of a criminal assault on Mrs. Daisy Welling in the capitol grounds on the night of February 28. He was convicted on April 27 and sentenced to die July 1.

A definite decision in the case of Miss Emma Mae Irwin, superintendent of nurses at Freedmen's Hospital, against whom charge were preferred by student nurses in March, will be made within a day or two, Judge E. C. Finney, assistant secretary of Interior, declared Wednesday afternoon. Her resignation has been asked for by Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the Interior. There has been no acceptance of her resignation or any dismissal of her as yet, Judge Finney said. The case is still under consideration, he stated. Miss Irwin has talked with both Dr. Work and Judge Finney regarding the charges against him. Neither Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, nor Miss Irwin would make any statement regarding the report that her resignation had been called for. Miss Irwin referred reporters to Dr. Warfield, and he in turn referred them to Secretary of the Interior, Work.
Student nurses, supported by graduate nurses of the Freedmen's Hospital Nurse Training School, petitioned Secretary Work in March for the removal of Miss Irwin. Dr. Work appointed a committee of superintendents of nurses from the Public Health Service, the Navy and the Army to make an investigation. The report of this committee is among the papers under consideration in connection with the case.
MINISTERS' MEETING HAS RECORD CROWD
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
July 8. The fourteenth annual Ministers' Conference at Hampton Institute closed recently with a record attendance of 359 ministers from eleven different denominations. This conference, unique in that it is organized to afford ministers an opportunity to study and discuss common problems rather than a meeting on the basis of denomination, has been addressed by nationally known speakers. The Ministers' Conference began fourteen years ago with an attendance of 23. Since that time 761 different ministers have attended its sessions; 18 denominations from 41 states, and a total of 2068 ministers have come to Virginia to attend its sessions. The conference is in touch with over 2100 pasters during the year. Its annual meetings are held at the same time as the Hampton Institute Summer School for teachers, with the hope that a closer co-operation may be brought about between ministers

During the War with Germany the professional patrioteers, the calculating profiteers, and the subsidized propagandists were busy circulating stories of the activities of German agents who were pictured as spreading disaffection among Negroes which was alleged to be ready to burst into forcible insurrection. As stupid and absurd as these stories were, they found hundreds of thousands of believers in them. Infamous and brazen lies that they were, they served the then patriotic purpose of inciting hatred of Germans. It seems that men cannot fight one another very well, unless they hate and contemn and deal unjustly toward one another.
In the last days of June, the New York Herald-Tribune carried two articles by M. Jay Racusin setting forth with some detail alleged efforts of the Russian soviet government to promote among Negroes in this country an uprising against the government of the United States. These articles were made the excuse for the Washington Bureau of the Herald-D-Tribune to interview persons in the State Department as to what information the department had as to these alleged activities.
The persons (names as usual not given) interviewed had no light to throw on the subject. In an editorial the Herald-Tribune thought the matter was of no importance except as illustrating the stupidity of the Russian soviet government. Any tool knows that there is not the remotest possibility of any uprising of Negroes in the United States against the government. This story of soviet propaganda is being circulated at this time for the sole purpose of counteracting growing sentiment in the country favorable to the recognition of the Russian soviet government by the government of the United States
Our trade with the soviet government is very large, and our bankers, manufacturers and concession hunters are not over-sensitive about forms of government in the face of assured sales and profits.
The general international situation affected by conditions in China demands that some curb be placed upon the world influence of the soviet government. England especially is alive to this need, and it would be useless to assert that British influence is not a factor in determining the foreign policy of the United States.
Of course, the plausibility of the story rests upon the knowledge that Negroes are treated unjustly
MUSIC FOREUM
By Wellington A. Adams
WHY NOT MORE ORGAN RE
CITALS IN OUR
CHURCHES?
An organ recital and vesper service was given at the Shiloh Baptist Church by Professor A. J. Gumprecht of Saint Mary's Church Sunday afternoon, June 26, from five to six o'clock. This church contains one of the finest organs in the city and it is a pleasure to listen to its beautiful tones during religious worship. More than that, however, this church finds an opportunity to present organ recitalists of note that their communicants may hear organ music of the highest type. That is commendable.
Not long since we had the pleasure of attending a regular service at a leading white church. Thirty minutes before it commenced the organist entered and gave a wonderful program of music that was delightful. Most white churches we learn frequently give such recitals are the regular service and during week days.
A good organ is an asset to a church and much more so when a competent organist is in charge. Many colored churches are lacking in the latter respect although several of our larger churches have excellent organs. What good are these organs if they are not used for the mental edification of the people? The rule is that the organ must be played only during and for a regular service but we believe that its use should be extended beyond that sphere. Are we always going to expend thousands of dollars purchasing fine organs and allow them to mold away and rust for lack of sufficient manipulation? Are we always going to drain our memberships to install them and then be afraid to permit their use? Why

THE under the flag, and that other peoples and groups have risen up against injustices of less magnitude than those endured by the American Negro, practically without emphatic complaint and protest. The American Negro, however, has no thought of physical forcible revolt. He is not as big a fool as some people imagine.
Yet, the Negro does want his constitutional rights, and those rights that pertain to man as man. He does not like to be the subject of discrimination and segregation. He wants his place in the sun. He is striving to abolish illiteracy. He is seeking to develop business. He is aiming to become efficient, and to acquire a knowledge and technique of organization. He is not certain that the form of government is an important factor in reaching these ideals.
A NEGRO CADET AT WEST POINT?
The announcement is made that Representative Madden has appointed a colored boy from his congressional district (First Illinois) to West Point. We do not know how much significance to give to the announcement, nor can we tell until we know whether the appointee passes the entrance tests. We put it this way because it has been more than forty years since any colored appointee has met the tests for entrance either to West Point, or Annapolis.
Within that period appointments of colored candidates have been made from Ohio, Wyoming and New York, and possibly other states which we do not recall at this time. But in every instance the colored appointee has failed to meet either the physical, or the mental test, or both.
Some unpleasant stories have gained circulation because of these outcomes. It has been alleged that the examining officers have been dishonest and unfair, that candidates have quailed before the ordeal that they were to pass through, and have given up the quest, and that persons were appointed who were known to be either physically or mentally unqualified to pass the entrance examination. In this latter case, it is said the appointment was merely a political gesture, intended to warm the cockles of the heart of the colored voter, and get support at the polls for the party candidate on election day.
These are not pleasant things to relate, and yet they have a semblance of truth, because of the notoriously selfish and sordid motives that actuate politicians who deal with the Negro. It is time that we should have successors to Ilipper, Young and Alexander.
not have organ recitals frequently giving the average member and visitor an opportunity to enjoy the music within its confines thus raising their mental and musical conception of its value to a higher standard? We boast of what a fine organ we have as we sit in the pews and look at its beautiful towering pipes which is being put to no good effect other than being something to please the eye. Use that organ and don't make it an everlasting ornament to the eye and a monument to somebody's else skill and workmanship. Use it more. It embodies the very soul of music if one but knew it. Many would much prefer hearing more good organ music than so much ordinary choir singing when that instrument is in the hands of one who knows how to use it. That brings us to the question of good organists.
Not all who play an organ understand its construction or manipulation and that is why we do not, as a rule, get the full effect from it. The organ is the king of instruments and a good organist must have a thorough knowledge of musical notation, read at sight, able to play all his scales accurately on the pianoforte and last but not least, carry his hands in a good position while playing chords or scales.
The performance on and management of an organ may be classified as follows: Playing with the feet, or pedaling; independence of movement between the hands and feet, separately and in combination; use of legato and staccato touch; management of the stops and various mechanical appliances; method of playing with expression, that is, learning to express your musical feeling on an organ. The proper expression of feeling is chiefly dependent on the art of phrasing, the contrast between the legato and staccato style, the use of the swell pedal, and, the selection of stops.
A lack of knowledge of these things snells defeat to anyone calling himself or herself an or-

ganist. One reason why we have really good organists in our churches today is because too few desire to give the time to careful study of the subject under a competent teacher. We would master it at once or not at all and that means incompetence. Another striking reason is that too few of our churches permit the use of the organ for study by student-members who may desire it. The officials generally are afraid that the organ may be rendered unfit for use thereafter when as a matter of fact, the organ under proper guidance, remains in better condition by frequent usage than otherwise.
Nearly all leading churches with modern organs permit their use for study with the organists or directors in charge. More than one white church in this city conducts a music studio in their building for the musical advancement of its membership and the community. One such choir director receives a salary of $300 a month with an office-studio at his disposal. Our church folk would drop dead if such a thing was demanded of them. The majority believe that the small sum of $10 to $30 a month is sufficient compensation, but it is truly a travesty upon justice in a sense, and a mockery upon the musical profession where such conditions prevail.
If we would have better church organists, better church music, more organ recitals of merit, more organ students in preparation to serve, then the church itself should give access to the instrument and building and stop being selfish, narrow minded and thoughtless of the musical and intellectual welfare of its adherents while administering unto the spiritual element thereof.

ELECTRICITY generated by rotating machinery—the most economical method—must keep moving onward all the time! It can NOT be stored!!!
Hence it is necessary that any electrical system must be larger than the largest demand made upon it at any one time. Whether this "peak" occurs but once a year, the system must be ready to meet it without a moment's notice all the time! To regulate this ever-moving element—economically—generators must be run in various regulated combinations productive of just a little more current than is actually consumed at that precise moment!

Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words each word containing double letters, written with pencil.
HOW TOMMY GOT HIS DOG
By James R. Lyles(13)
Once upon a time there was a little boy whose name was Tommy. He lived in a house with his mother and daddy, just as you do, and he had a rabbit and a kitten and a baby sister, but he wanted a dog.
Now a kitten and a rabbit and a baby, not to mention a small boy of seven, require much care and attention, so his mother and his daddy decided that there was no room for a dog—absolutely no room at all.
Tommy was most $sp^1$ and downhearted. Jimmy, who lived next door, had a dog; indeed, it seemed to Tommy as if he were the only small boy in the world without a dog.
But his parents were firm. You know how parents are!
One day Tommy went into the woods to look for wild flowers. It was a lovely day and the sky was blue as blue could be. Deep in the woods Tommy came to a stream. Across on the opposite bank grew the loveliest flowers he had ever seen. But the stream was wide and there was no bridge, only an old log which stretched rather shakily from shore to shore. But they were lovely flowers. Tommy felt that mother would like them for her blue bowl. So he stepped rather gingerly on the log and at first got along very nicely. And then—what do you think? Just as he was in the middle of the stream, where the water grew fearsome and dark, he felt the log tremble and begin to break under him. Oh, my! He was scared. He called out in fear.
Just then the bushes on the bank parted and a beautiful brown and white collar barked. He seemed to say, "Hold on, little boy. I'll come and get you."
But poor Tommy slipped, and down into the deep water he went. Goodness knows what would have happened if the brave dog had not jumped in to save him. He soon dragged Tommy up on the bank and stood guard over him, licking his face.
When Tommy, still very much frightened, started for home, his new friend would not leave him, but walked along close to his side. He reached home and told mother and daddy what had happened to him, and daddy looked at mother and said, "Well, it looks as if this boy needed a dog to take care of him. Let's call him Rex."
Tommy threw his arms around Rex's neck, he was so happy.
And always, after that, when he went anywhere, his faithful dog went with him. Have you a dog?
TOO MUCH POWDER DOESNT
LOOK GOOD ON GIRLS
Dear Editor: The other day I saw several colored girls who were causing much comment because of their having too much paint on their faces. I use powder but it is hardly noticeable.
Here is a clipping from a newspaper that I wish that you would publish.
"Powder in proper quantities is an asset to a girl's appearance, but too much cosmetics, cheap jewelry . . . may reduce her rating to less than a passing mark, according to the grading method in a personality contest conducted at a high school here in Cleveland.
"The girls grade themselves with the assistance of a teacher on apparel, voice, jewelry, hair, face and neck, posture and other points, and too much powder or rouge detracts from her mark as much as the most important particulars. An elaborate table is used in judging the girls each week."
The better thinking girls do not put too much paint and powder on. My mother says that it is all right for a girl to make herself attractive, but she hates to see girls make freaks of themselves—and so do I. GELSTINE S. SCOTT (15)
WRONG SPELLING CONTEST
Ons upon a time there was a night. He was a champion fiter. Wile one day he was riding on his horse he heard a kry from a princess.
He ask—what is the mater and she sed: There is a dragon in my sity. She sed and I'm looking for a brave night to get my mother and father in the castle weeping.
I will fit him, he sed and the dragon was about to enter the place when the night came and kild the dragon.
Above you will find an exciting story. It is somewhat wrong as to spelling. Can you correct it? A pass for two will be sent to the boy or girl who corrects the above in the best manner. Send answers to My Buddy, Washington Tribune, 920 U street, northwest, Washington D.C. by Wednesday noon.
---
FUN WITH WORDS
This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of not less than ten words; each word must contain at least one set of double letters.
The main things to bear in mind are: each sentence must contain not less than ten words; each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, every word must contain double letters; do not use more than TWO proper names.
Do not make two words of one word such as "foot ball" (two words) for football" (one word).
Hyphenated words are permissible.
The Editor of the Kiddies' Corner will give one ticket each for the best sentences accepted for publication here.
The tickets will be good for admission to the Dunbar Theater or the Broadway Theater.
All letters must be addressed to the Editor, "Kiddies' Corner" and must be in the Triune office, 920 U street, Northwest, not later than 8 p.m. Wednesday.
You may send in as many sentences as you wish, providing that one coupon (as above) cut out of the Tribune, accompanies them.
Some children try for several weeks. They finally win. Don't give up. Say to yourself, "If others can win, I WILL win!!" That's the spirit. Now let's go.
Cut out the blank above and show it to your friends. Suggest to them that if they write a sentence as here suggested, that they may win a ticket.
Do not think that your sentence will be worse than others that are submitted. Try to convince yourself that your sentence will be better, or, at least just as good as any others sent in. If you do not succeed this week try again next week.
Try Again
Try again this week, whether you have won or not. We want to see fifteen winning sentences on this page at one time. Some of the Tribunites send letters with their sentences. While it is not necessary to write a letter the Editor likes to hear from the Tribunites. Remember, Tribunites, that the sentences that are understood easiest are given preference in the awarding of prizes. Some sentences are very good, but they have to be read two or three times before the meaning is clear. Don't change a word in an already published winning sentence and expect to win a prize.
Don't write less than ten words.
Parents; Be Fair
Parents are not fair who make sentences for their children. To make sentences and give them to the Kiddies to send in is teaching them to cheat. Let the Kiddy earn what he or she gets.

"TWO OST
DECLARES PORTERS HAVE
NOT LOST THEIR CASE
ERDEARO, TD... Saly B--Cestain
newspapers and news agencies
have recently been imposed on and
printed statements to the effect
that the application of the Broth-
ethood of Sleeping Car Porters to
the United States Mediation Board
for its services in connection’ with
their dispute with the Pullman
Company has been denied. Such
a statement was on its face false
and the newspapers should be in-
formed that under the law the
United States Board of Mediation
does not issue orders or deny ap-
plications for relief, but on the
contrary it is the ‘duty of the
board, when a dispute arises be-
tween @ carrier and its employes
to “use its best efforts by media-
tion to bring them to agreement.”
This has been the effort of the
Board of Mediation in the case of
the dispute between the Pullman
Company and the Sleeping Car
“Porters.
In response to a telegram of in-
quiry regarding the false propa-
ganda evidently issued for the pur.
pose of confusing and misleading
the Pullman porters, the secretary
‘of the Board of Mediation has
made the following statement:
“This office not responsible for
unfortunate statement in press re-
ferred to in your telegram. The
matter submitted by your organi-
zation remains under considera-
tion by this board.”
Donald R. Richberg, attorney for
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters and co-author of the Rail-
way Labor Act which created the
°U.S. Mediation Board, makes the
following statement:
~ “As I represented the organized
railway employees in obtaining
passage of the Railway Labor
‘Act, and as I have advised with
-the Sleeping Car Porters’ Organi-
zation regarding the rights of the
Pullman employes under the law
‘I would like to emphasize in con-
‘nection with this false report just
cirenlated, that any that
‘the Board of Mediation has ‘hand.
ed down a decision, and particular:
ly a decision apparently denying
to railroad employees the right td
choose their own representatives,
should be recognized on its face
as untruthful pablicty issued fo
purpose of misleading publi
onia.

July 4 brought a large and fash-
ionable gathering to Cedar Haven,
on the Patuxent River. Among
‘those enjoying the festivities of
‘the holiday, were the children of
the Tabernacle Baptist Church
Sunday School, Rev. J. A. L.
Washington, pastor.
‘The hour's ride in the three
large Capital Traction busses,
which conveyed them to Cedar
Haven, did not tire the Kiddies to
the extent that they could not en-
joy themselves in every pleasur-
able pastime. There was wading,
surf-bathing, and baseball. ‘Then,
to the delight of the kids, Car-
ry’s ice Cream was freely distrib-
uted.
In. addition to their play, the
chiliren had the opportunity of
seeing a race summer colony in
the process of building. The lit-
tle minds were interested in the
various phases of development, and
many were the questions ‘that
epuld be asked, In a word, the
pienic was all that could be asked
ofa day’s pleasure.
In the future, Cedar Haven will
be the site of several picnics. The
next picnic will be given June 20,

Pupils Give Recital

"I had heard so much of Cardui, I sent for a bottle and took it regularly. I felt stronger and better, and wondered why I hadn't tried it before. I took 6 bottles at that time, and there was such a big change in my condition. I felt so much better, and did not have the weakness, and am now well."

The firm is housed in a modern office building which is owned by Negroes. A force of several people are employed regularly to handle its volume of business.
Y.W.C.A. NOTES
Y. M. C. A. TRAINING SCHOOL OPENS
The twentieth anniversary session of the Chesapeake Summer School for the training of Y. M. C. A. secretaries opened at the Manual Training School, Bordentown, N. J., July 7. The sessions will last for two weeks.
On the ninth and tenth, a special conference of lay leaders will convene with W. R. Wortham, New York real estate dealer, as secretary. The theme of the conference is "The layman's opportunity in the Y. M. C. A." The discussion will center around the extent to which the Y. M. C. A. is a layman's movement; the responsibility of leadership that laymen should assume and the relationship of the layman to the secretary. A large attendance of laymen from all parts of the country, particularly from the Eastern states, is expected.
The training school was organized twenty years ago at Ashville, N. C. It has met at Bordentown for the past three years.

The Tribune League got under way to a bang up start last Sunday on diamonds in and around Washington. Fully 6,000 persons looked on at the games between the various teams, and what they saw was clean fast baseball throughout. At times there was relentless slugging, at other times there was spectacular fielding and superb pitching.
G. P. O. first half winners of the Departmental League were surprised by the lowly Post Office nine in the first meeting of the two teams for the second half last Friday. The Mailmen won 6-2.
The Golf Bug so widely known and talked of seems to have started pestering our folks. Why I do believe I've been bitten myself. And would you believe that 6 a.m. one day last week peeped in on "Bip" Brooks, former Howard star griddler, pushing the little white pellet around?
Letters have gone from this office to the sports' writers of the east and west, asking that they meet The Tribun. Sports editor on July 23 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An effort will be made toward organizing into an association.
George Ford, stellar all-round performer of the Washington Black Sox clouted one of the longest hits recorded at Maryland Baseball Park on Monday. With 2 on Ford met one of the Fernald hurler's slants and sent it, with yards to spare, over the wall in deep left centerfield.
Seven errors in the July 4 opening game marred the exceptional record the Washington Black Sox infield has established this season. Monroe had 3 miscues, Turner 2, and Pieces Brown 2. All these youngsters are usually dependable and it is believed that as the Baltimore infield is so much faster than the Sox home grounds a good excuse for the poor showing can be offered.
It is to be lamented that an organization like the Y. M. C. A can offer no more inducement for youthful competition than that of July 4. The awards given the winners of places at their Annual Track Meet were merely prizes in the sense of the word. In the 115 lb. class a piece of ribbon decorated by yellow tin was given the winners in various events. Something should be done by the Central Board to improve conditions there. The building on G street offers all sorts of the best kind of inducements to compete, as well as the best of training.
Y.M.C.A. TRACK MEET IS SAD DIAPPOINTMENT
Y.M.C.A. TRACK MEET IS SAD DIAPPOINTMENT
The Third Annual Y. M. C. A. Track and Field meet held at Cardozo Playground, July 4 was not entirely a success because of the scarcity of entrants. Less than 85 boys participated in the proceedings. Only one event, the 60-ward dash, was held in the 100-pound class. In the unlimited class the discus and shot put events were left out.
The attempt to proceed without the use of a gun resulted in many false starts. The unlimited 100-yard dash entrants were called back 5 times before they finally got off.
The meet itself turned out to be a duel contest between the Celtics and Comets, club teams. The Celtics who, last year, ran away with the Y. M. C. A. meet, were hard pressed to come out on the long end of the 99-81 score. Of the six events in the unlimited class the Celtics, took first, second and third in three, and first and third in a fourth.
A. Davis, Celtic athlete, with 15 points was individual high point scorer of the meet. This lad appears to be endowed with wings for, besides clearing the bar at 5 feet, $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches to win the high jump, he leaped 18 feet, 6 inches to take first place in the broad jump. He was also on the winning relay team.
Davis' teammate, Joe Jackson, was second to him in scoring. His total was 12 points.
Robert Swales, acclaimed by many of his boosters as the pocket edition of DeHart Hubbard proved his worth by winning the 60- and 220-yard dashes. The Comets were better than their rivals, in the 85-ound class. With the exception of this lone class superiority, however, the Southwest youngsters were unable to cope with their opponents.
THE SPORT REVIEW
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Lincoln, Nebraska.—Virtually flying through the air, DeHart Hubbard, believed by many to have been aging, broke his own A. A. U. record for the broad jump here last Saturday when he leaped 25 feet 8 and 3-4 inches. Needless to say, he won the event.
Bill Butler, crack Geneva College athlete, finished first in the junior 440-yard dash. Phil Edwards was second in the 88-yard run.
Twelve thousand persons witnessed the running of one of the prettiest track meets the Amateur Athletic Union has sponsored since its existence. A perfect day and a fast track smiled on Lincoln, Nebraska in her fulfilling the obligation New Orleans left with her refusal to allow mixed competition in her city.
MYRTLES EASILY DEFEAT MOHAWKS, JULY 4
The championship Mohawk A. C. baseball team fell before another colored team on July 4 at Union League Park when the fast traveling Myrtle A. C. Union League team substituted for the Washington Black Sox and twice defeated them by scores of 18-4 and 6-4. Fanning 11 men, Eddie Barner on the mound in the first game merely toyed with the white champions. He was easily the outstanding star. Barner also had a perfect day at bat with 4 hits, a single, two doubles and a triple. The second game was a closely played match. Uncle Bob has his club going strong now, and says he will give any team, in or around Washington something to think about.
ELITE PANTHERS SCORE

OVER DIAMOND N
Making their debut in the Washington Tribune Baseball League last Sunday, the Elite Panthers literally swamped the Diamond K club in a class A contest. The score was 18-5.
The game, the first of the Tribune League games to be staged on diamond number 8 of the Monument Lot was characterized by an excellent degree of sportsmanship. The Panthers garnered 17 hits, led by Braddic and Gilbert who secured 3 each. King, Diamond K's third seaker was the only member of his team to obtain more than 1 bit.

TOGANS TRIMMED TWICE BY ANAGOSTIA A. C.
Approximately 1200 persons witnessed the Washington Tribune League opening game between the Anacostia Athletics and Togans on the formers' grounds last Sunday. The Athletics took both ends of the twin bill by scores of 10-4 and 4-1. Reed, winning hurler in the matinee game, displayed an assortment of baffling curves, securing in the course of the pastime 11 strikeouts. Tate with 3 hits in 5 times at bat led the sluggers.
The nightcap turned out to be a pitcher's duel between Berry and Bush and Montgomery with the first mentioned getting the better of the argument. The Anacostia finger fanned 13 while this opponents made 10 whiff the ozone.

BLACK BARONS SHARE WITH SOLDIER NINE
The first of the Washington Tribune League doubleheaders to be staged at Washington Barracks Sunday resulted in an even break when the Army War College nine took the first game from the Black Barons 11-10, then dropped the nightcap 8-5.
Though White on the mound for the Barons obtained 10 strike-outs in the matinee friche the timely hitting of the winners proved his undoing. Six errors behind him were also responsible for the downfall.
In the second game Jeffries hurled air-tight ball and went his teammate, who pitched the opener, one better by sending 11 allens back to the 'bench with their bats

T
HARRY WILLS, heavyweight boxer who is to try a come-back this month.
Having been reinstated, Paulino Uzcdun, the Spanish heavyweight will oppose Harry Wills in the latter's attempted come back on July 13 at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, New York.
Simultaneous with the decision to reinstate the foreigner, came the New York State Athletic Commissions' approval for the 15-round scheduled match between Paulino and Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, who for sometime bore the hope of the race in the heavyweight division of prize fighting.
Wills, rated by scribes and au thorities throughout the country at the most logical contender for the heavyweight crown, proved an uiter disappointment last October when Jack Sharkey the Boston sailor beat him badly through 1 rounds of their 15-round bout. Wills was disqualified for fouling after 43 seconds of fighting in the thirteenth round, and since the has been considered a second ra ter.
The coming bout with Paulino next Wednesday will mark Wills attempt for a comeback. Will he redeem himself?
PHILADELPHIA, July 2-With big Nip Winters pitching in rare form, the Hilldale team scored a victory over the Baltimore Black Sox at Hilldale Park, the Daisies finishing on the long end of a 5 to 2 score. Rube Yokely was on the rubber for Ben Taylor's boys and went along pretty well until the fourth inning when the locals bunched a single, two bases on balls, and a double for two tallies. In the next inning Yokely was relieved by Bob McClure. McClure also felt the sting of the Hilldale bats when doubles by Briggs and Winters and Carr's long triple sent over two more runs in the sixth. Carr, incidentally had a 'day on' with the war club and cuffed out a triple, double and single for his day's work. These safe drives permitted three runs to trickle across the pan.
For the visitors Judson Wilson was the real T.N.T. He accounted for both of the Black Sox runs, personally lugging them over the pan. In the second inning he drew a walk, reached second on a passed ball and scored on Pete Washington's single. In the fourth inning Wilson socked out a triple and scored on Ben Taylor's safe knock. Stevens fielded in flawless style for the home club.
Saturday's contest was a different tale and the visitors from Maryland put the game in the bag after ten innings of hectic baseball. Phil Cockrell went great guns for seven innings, but apparently lost his stuff and was easy for the Sox in the eighth and tenth innings. Strong, on the other hand proved effective in the pinches and scattered 4 Hilldale runs over as many innings.
Strong also executed a neat play when he turned Warfield's drive into an unassisted double play. With George Carr on second base in the third inning, Warfield lined one through the box and Strong snared it with his gloved hand.
Carr was off with the pitch and was unable to return to second base before Strong jogged over and touched the sack. Crush Holloway played a great game in the field and twice gathered in balsis that were apparently labeled for extra bases. He picked Cockrell's drive off the fence in the third and made another corking catch off Carr in the fifth.
Jud Wilson continued to play havoc with the pitchers and had a perfect day with two triples, a single and two walks.
Wills, rated by scribes and authorities throughout the country as the most logical contender for the heavyweight crown, proved an utter disappointment last October when Jack Sharkey the Boston sailor beat him badly through 13 rounds of their 15-round bout. Wills was disqualified for fouling after 43 seconds of fighting in the thirteenth round, and since then has been considered a second rater. The coming bout with Paulino next Wednesday will mark Wills' attempt for a comeback. Will he redeem himself?
Greenwood Mills and his Maryland White Sox won one game and tied in their initial engagements with Dulin and Martin in the Class A opening at Lakeland Sunday. Walls pitched good ball, tightening the pinches to win 9-7 in the opener. The second game ended, 9-9 H. Carter, visiting leftfielder, connected three times, twice for three bases.

UNION LEAGUE DOUBLE O
The Orientalis widened their margin in the Union League leadership with a double victory over the Piedmonta, last Sunday while the best the Myrtles could do was break even with the Alexandria Lafayettes. With Eddie Barner leading the attack on the Virginia pitcher the second place Myrtles took a 14-10 engagement from the Lafayettes on the latter's grounds after the home team had gained a 5-4 verdict in the opener. Having lost the first game 8-7, the LeDroit Tigers came back to an 11-3 nightcap from the Washington Giants out at 24th and Benning. The first affair was a slugfest with Beverly of the Tigers and Colbert of the Giants, opposing hurlers being punished for a total of 47 hits.

BLACK SOX DOWN PRINTERS TWICE
BLACK SOX DOWN PRINTERS TWICE
By "Flash" Robeson
The Union Printers, No. 101, champions for five years of the Printers tournaments lost twice to the Black Sox Sunday, July 3. Norman Hutchinson, one of the best white twirlers on the sandlots, was no puzzle to Sox, who garnered sixteen bingles off him in 6 innings. "Heinie" Webb, the typo's manager, labored for the losers in the last inning and the Sox found him for three bingles. Monroe and Ford starred at the bat for the Sox; while Brown, Fauntroy and Jackson saved Lyman several times in the field. Homan, Lemerise, T. Ford and Desper, all who are poison to the white twirlers of the District, were like babes to the Sox pitchers. Grant and Jackson starred in the second game at the bat, while "Puds" Brown fielded brilliantly at second.

SOUTHERN STARS SHARE WITH COLESVILLE OUTFIT
The Southern Stars, Class B team won one and lost one in their twin bill at Colesville, Md., last Sunday. The meeting was with the Colesville Stars and it was the inauguration of the Washington Tribune Baseball League. The local boys with 18 hits captured the initial game by an 8-6 score. Gillard pitched well for the winners until the eighth inning when he was weakened and was relieved by Smith. The second tilt resulted in a win for the home team. Colesville was too much for King and seemed to take a liking to his offerings.

SOX-FERNDALE BILL DIVIDED
By "Flash" Robeson
The Ferndale A. C. of Baltimore, Md., a white semi-pro club composed of former minor league players split even with the Washington Black Sox on July 4, at the Baltimore Black Sox Park, winning the first game 6-5 and losing the second 10-2.
The Sox, playing all of their games this season on the Union League grounds were not used to playing a fast diamond and Monroe and Turner were over-running fast grounders in the first game, causing "Lefty" Smith, who twirled air tight ball alloying only five hits, to lose a heart-breaking game.
The features of the first game were the playing of Lattin, formerly of the Baltimore Orioles, at short, and Reinish, property of the Montreal Club on second.
The second game, brought fourth the real caliber of the Washington champs; Monroe and Turner, playing back on the turf, stopped overrunning the fast travelling grounders, making hard stops and lightning-like throws to G. Ford, who relieved Jackson on first base, put new life in the team. The players' batting eyes returned with a vim, G. Ford connected with one of Rowley's shoots and the wallop cleared the centerfield fence with room to spare.
The former Salisbury twirler was to Ford's liking, the Sox cantain getting also a single and a triple. Grant, also fell in line, getting four singles for a perfect day. Sam Lacey, the gubway twirler of the Sox pitched one of the best games seen this year not being scored on until the 7th inning; this lad, if handled right will win some important games for the Sox; for very few twirlers can boast of as much stuff as he has, and if he can master his curves, he will soon be in the big show. On Sunday, July 10, the Madison Stars, a fast semi-pro team of Philadelphia will be the attraction at Union Park.

BROOKLAND-HILLSDALES SPLIT

PANTHERS BEAT WHITE SOX
The Elite Panthers took the strong Maryland White Sox nine into camp on July 4 by score of 16 to 13 on the White Sox diamond in Lakeland. Outbatting and outrunning their rivals on the bases, the Panthers were able to come from behind and win in the ninth. The timely hitting of Mill and Brewer kept the losers in the running until the last. The Panthers derived 8 hits and 10 runoff the deliveries of Welbourne who relieved Neil in the seventh inning.
FORESTVILLE DOWNS ALL-STARS
Performing on their grounds in Forestville, Maryland on July 11 the Forestville A. C. downed the Washington All-Stars by the score of 15-13. The game was a slug-fost with Wert and Primrose of the winners starring in the field and at bat.

MISS BURROUGHS POINTS OUT HER OBJECTIVE IS TO TRAIN FOR OPPORTUNITIES
C. M. BAYLEY
NATIONAL BANK, AUSTRALIA
I am writing this open letter to the colored people of Washington who think straight on problems affecting our economic situation. The appeal is not made for enterprises with which I am connected only, but what I ask for those enterprises, I ask for all Negro business that is conducted efficiently and unselfishly.
I am writing this open letter because I do not believe that the colored people in Washington know definitely what I am trying to do, aside from building an institution of learning. That in itself is a Herculean task, but building a training school is only a means to an end. The end—the real objective—is to prepare people to carry on in the larger fields of service and to help prepare fields of service in which they may carry on.

We are not so trainee alone.
In the training school we teach business, but business taught in a class-room is nothing unless it is applied in actual life. For that reason, I am conducting certain businesses, and let me tell you here now, that my chief objective is not to make money—hush the voice that tells you so. If money-making were my chief objective, I would cut loose from everything and go to it. Pardon the slang, but believe me, I could make money if that were my unholy ambition. But back to my point: My chief ambition is to make opportunities for

Negro women and men.
We have a public laundry. It is the largest plant of its kind owned and operated by Negroes in this section of the country. That enterprise does not only give employment, but it shows initiative and constructive ability in a field in which the white man is making millions but in which Negroes are only workers and not proprietors or managers. Do you know what it would mean if the Negroes in Washington would send their work to us, and used their influence to get the people for whom they worked to give us their laundry? It would mean employment for at least one hundred women and men in every phase of the laundry industry.
We are not seeking colored patronage alone. We do not expect colored people to give us their work because we are colored. We work (for both races and we are in the field to remind you that, regardless of how much patronage you give other laundries, they are not going to hire your girls in certain responsible positions in their plants. Do you know that there are women walking the streets beging for work? I want you to do a little reading and tabulating.

people who advertise for colored help in one column, and put down the number of colored people who want situations in another column. List them every day for one week, and you will be surprised to find the small number of advertisements for colored help and the large number of colored people who want work.
What are we going to do about it? You say our people are not efficient—and they are not. But criticism that is not constructive is destructive. We must meet the situation or we must try.
I am sending this letter to you to say that you can help improve these conditions by giving your unstinted support to our public laundry, and to Negro businesses that give employment to members of the race.
I am calling on business men to clean up their places, maintain high standards, and give more Negro patronage so as to make more opportunities for Negro workers in evey field.
I have another business that was started and is being maintained for the sole purpose of helping Negro women. I refer to the National Association of Wage Earners, located at 1115 Rhode Island avenue, northwest. Do you know the objective of this organization? Are you interested in the training of colored workers? If you are, I call upon you to support the Wage Earners Association. You may join it if you want to, but you can do something else that will be just as helpful, you can take at least one meal a month there—Sunday or week day.
Do you know that the business that helps the race as a group is the business that should have the hearty support of the entire group? I believe we need a practice house for the training of skilled workers, and you people who are always talking about poor service ought to give it your support. If we were running a "joint" on the corner of Twelfth and Rhode Island avenue, the bad Negroes would flock there. But we are running a clean high class business institution, and we are expecting those who know the value of our great objective to give us their support, and to give it continuously and enthusiastically. I appeal for the support of every Negro business on U street. Ninth street, Eleventh street, Seventh street, Florida avenue, Georgia avenue, or anywhere else in the city of Washington.
Again, I appeal to our business men to keep their places clean, to keep their standards high, to keep their help courteous and efficient, to cut down their hammers and stop knocking and go to boosting, so that we can make bigger businesses, and thereby give larger opportunities to the hundreds of Negro women and men who, by the sweat of their brows, must earn their bread.
Sincerely yours,

service of the Colored Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States is undergoing notable expansion. In these as in practically all other building developments in colored Y. M. C. A. service during the past fifteen years, the gifts and influence of Julius Rosenwald, head of Sears, Roebuck and Co., Chicago, have been an important factor. He has repeatedly given $25,000 to individual building campaigns on condition that the major part of the funds be contributed locally.
